Picked from a parcel of these unheated ‘fancy’ Zoisite colors that included the standard browns, yellow and greens comes this quite lovely and enigmatic stone. The color is a kind of lilac tone; it is violet with a slight pink modifier (even more so in warm light) that is quite highly saturated. One the only times we have seen this interesting shade, it looks dramatically different when placed nest to a traditional stone. Given a fine precision cut here in the US and entirely loupe clean.
